Hi, I am a mechanical engineering student using SAM for a project on wind energy in my area, and want to download and edit the .srw file to match data collected in my area. I am in Canada and using both the city, and longitude latitude approach in the NREL Wind Toolkit will not work as it is continental US only. I know what to do I just don't know how to download one of the toolkit resource files on my pc so I can edit the data. 
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Hi Matthew,

You can find examples of files in the .srw file format in the wind_resource folder in your SAM installation folder.

The .srw file format is also described in Help: samrepo.nrelcloud.org/help/weather_format_srw_wind.htm

Best regards,
Paul.
